Harry and Meghan move kids to new school over security concerns

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan

Prince Harry and Meghan have decided to change their children's school following concerns about their security.

The decision for Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, to switch schools came after the Sussex's security team expressed concerns over the distance and traffic, saying it was difficult to ensure safety in the current transport conditions.

BBC reported that a close friend of the family said that despite the move, the school was not at fault.

"The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family.

"This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there."

The family's return to the UK has brought about a review into the level of protection the family receives, with a committee reconsidering security measures now that they are full-time residents.

The committee known as Ravec, which involves representatives from the Home Office, the Royal Household and the police, will assess threats and the current levels of police protection.

The assessments will also include any risks the family face in their home, as well as their travels along regularly-used routes.

Prince Harry had previously opened a legal case over his security, but was unsuccessful.

He made another inquiry into his police protection earlier this year, before the Sussex's plans to return to England became public.

General Muhooi Kainerugaba is also the eldest son of the Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni.

In other news, Uganda has rejoined the Invictus Games after King Charles reassured the nation they had his permission.

According to The Guardian, Uganda official General Muhoozi Kainerugaba spoke to the principal private secretary of the King and Queen, Clive Alderton.

Spokesperson of the Uganda People's Defence Force Chris Magezi said in a statement that "King Charles III was moved by Gen Kainerugaba’s sensitive consideration of the king’s opinion on the upcoming Invictus Games organised by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex".

The King had "no problem with Uganda’s participation in the Invictus Games, and encouraged the [Chief of Defence Forces] CDF to proceed with preparations," said Magezi.

General Kainerugaba would reportedly resume Uganda's preparations for the upcoming Invictus Games, which take place in Birmingham in 2027.

It had earlier withdrawn due to the "Harry-Meghan nonsense" and the deep reverence it held for King Charles.
